As expected, both stories have many resemblances to each other, including the small scale, and the larger scale. You can see from reading both tales that Bradbury made the settings homogenous. Each situation is in a place away from

I chose the book and film, The War of the Worlds. There are many similarities and differences between these two works. A large difference between the book and movie is that the book takes place in England, while the movie takes place in the United States. The time periods are also much different, the book takes place in the late 20th century while the movie takes place in early 21st century. Another notable distinction is the change of the protagonist from a married, middle-class man without kids to a divorced working-class father of two children. The social setting plays a significant role in the plot. The main character's wife left him for a more wealthy and prosperous man. Her parents in Boston never liked him because he wasn't very successful

The author of this book did make use of literary elements to tell the story. These elements are also used in other picture books such as lines, shapes, color and speech bubble. The book is a graphic novel and dialogue takes majority of the writing in the book. The dialogical and concise style of writing of the author including the pictures

Book 2: The illustrations are the only thing in this story that keeps the reader intrigued. Without them you would not have a story at all, just random words that have no rhyme or reason to them. Furthermore, if you did not have the words in the book it would be easy to tell where the story is going and help you predict what is happening on the page. It is almost like the creator of the story wants the reader to use their imagination and create their own story by simply looking at the pictures of the

The stories bear minor similarities and differences that the setting influences the plot development by era and place, main characters backgrounds, and environment /time frame of stories.

The novel, Station Eleven, written by Emily St. John Mandel, has an abundance of examples of speaking about the past. Many characters in this book talk about experiences with their past, whether it be memorable or something they did not want to remember. Everyone has their own opinions on whether or not they should remember the past, and if they should continue to study it or not. Three characters that are involved with the past in the novel are Clark Thompson, Jeevan Chaudhary, and Kirsten Raymonde.

Many books have shared values and themes but like A Separate Peace and The Kite Runner. They both share common themes and writing techniques. They share imagery, metaphors, sarcasm and irony. The spirit and mood of the book have similar ways they make the character grow and evolve. Both books have common techniques they use to let the character move on and grow to do something better and more hopeful with their lives. They both use friendship, warfare, and conflict of identity to help their characters grow.

The settings in the two stories are similar in the way that they both take place in a small town with a sense of poverty. The adults are portrayed as authoritative and the narrators feel trapped.

R.J. Palacio’s incredibly moving story Wonder, is about a kid named August with a facial difference that’s prevented him from going to school… until now. August is just a normal kid with an incredible face, but he has to convince his classmates that he’s just like them. Grace Lin’s amazing book Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, is about a girl named Minli, who has to go on an extraordinary journey to find the Old Man of the Moon and ask him how her family can change their fortune. These books have many things that are similar and different about them like symbols, themes, and archetypes and allusions.

For example the settings, the characters being different genders, different time periods and so on. The only differences as one can see are basic things that have to be different, so they do not end up being the same story. All in all these stories have the same theme and topic but portray them in different ways. Inspiration is key not only in the characters live or the authors lives but also in everyone's life. Everyone is being inspired every single day of their lives, to make the choices they make. By being inspired one may impact many lives on an everyday

Where the two authors are utilizing the same literary element, the presentation is remarkably different and produces a different feel in each story.

What sets artists books apart from typical books one might find in a bookstore is how the books are made. In most books, the publisher is the one behind the creation of the book. The final product is a book that can sell. However, with artist books, the artist becomes the publisher. The artist will often times oversee how the book is designed, create their own paper for the book, and carefully arrange the layout. Some artists labor over hand crafted, watermarked paper while others chose classic printer paper with xeroxed images. The materials used is not nearly as important as the decision to use specific materials. “Bookworks are books that are conceived as an expressive unity, that is to say, where the message is the sum of all materials and formal elements”(Ulises Carrión). Elements like the type of paper used, the binding, the use of imagery and letterpress all influence how the viewer interprets the book. If the story of Snow White was printed on printer paper rather than hand made
